本研究采用改编的Photovoice方法，探讨了粮食不安全如何影响父母为家庭提供粮食的能力，他们管理家庭粮食不安全的战略以及粮食不安全对其福祉的影响。家长们提交了他们家庭在粮食不安全方面的经历的照片。之后，他们完成了关于他们照片的深入的半结构化采访。采用不断比较的方法，对访谈进行了转录和专题内容分析。美国加州州弗朗西斯科湾区。十七个父母（十四母亲和三个父亲）被招募从一个更广泛的定性研究了解低收入家庭的粮食不安全的经验。从父母的照片和访谈中确定了四个主题。首先，父母描述了他们的食物环境的多个方面，这些方面促进了不健康的饮食行为。第二，父母分享他们用有限的资源获得食物的策略。第三，父母表示，他们因粮食无保障的经历而感到羞耻、内疚和痛苦。最后，父母们描述了给孩子吃特殊食物来培养正常感。家长们强调了他们的粮食不安全经历的外部因素和内部斗争。为了解粮食无保障家庭的经历而开展的更多研究可能有助于改善针对这一结构性弱势群体的营养干预措施。
Using an adaption of the Photovoice method, this study explored how food insecurity affected parents’ ability to provide food for their family, their strategies for managing household food insecurity and the impact of food insecurity on their well-being. Parents submitted photos around their families’ experiences with food insecurity. Afterwards, they completed in-depth, semi-structured interviews about their photos. The interviews were transcribed and analysed for thematic content using the constant comparative method. San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA. Seventeen parents (fourteen mothers and three fathers) were recruited from a broader qualitative study on understanding the experiences of food insecurity in low-income families. Four themes were identified from the parents’ photos and interviews. First, parents described multiple aspects of their food environment that promoted unhealthy eating behaviours. Second, parents shared strategies they employed to acquire food with limited resources. Third, parents expressed feelings of shame, guilt and distress resulting from their experience of food insecurity. And finally, parents described treating their children to special foods to cultivate a sense of normalcy. Parents highlighted the external contributors and internal struggles of their experiences of food insecurity. Additional research to understand the experiences of the food-insecure families may help to improve nutrition interventions targeting this structurally vulnerable population.
